My 2016 F12 Build

You can skip the lifter in the f12 and then delete the adaptive lights and save yourself 10k. I'd also skip the insulated windshield. It's made for the Middle East with temps in the 120s. Not needed in the USA. The hifi sucks for 6k. The standard is worse but if you enjoy music you would be much better off spending 6 k at a custom shop to swap out the amp and change out the speakers which is undetectable visually but would sound miles better. JBL audio is the worst.

Remember any options will be worth about 20cents on th Dollar when you sell.

 

Yes, the F12 overhang is more than the 458's. Therefore, given the same scenario, it will be more susceptible to scraping as compared to the 458. The lifter (ELEV) *can* be very useful in the F12. And if you get the lifter, that automatically adds AFS1 as others already pointed out.

As for the heat-insulating windscreen (HAW1), I remember a Ferrari representative telling me that it reduces incoming heat by a little over 50%. If that is indeed the case, then I think it's nice to have because it'll keep the interior leather a bit more protected from the sun.

 

Great choice Christian, congratulation!

 

You're doing the right thing Christian!

Allow me a sassy remark; I'm not a fan of colored calipers, I wonder till today how this trend could arise, for me a useless pseudo sportiness statement from the former tuning scene. Or do you see that somewhere on a race car?

I know, your beautifuly 458 has yellow calipers. Therefore please do not be angry with me...

 

They looks very good, extremely good!

IMO the F12 has such a beautiful and dynamic shape, he does not need this gimmick...

 

I would go standard black brake calipers (and that is from someone who has yellow brake calipers on his FF...), and yes I would still drop the premium stereo...

 

Not true - mine went with the first stone chip!!!

 

Yellow calipers go with the side shields Christian IMHO😀😀great spec

I'm voting for black calipers, from your renderings, the car seems to flow better. If you are planning on driving the car any where for a period of time, the better stereo is a good idea.
And the lift system in this car is helpful, I didn't realize you need the AFS system to get it, so yes, the lift (and hence the AFS) should stay.

Cheers,

Ron

 

Yellow calipers...highlights the beautiful tech.

Here's my spec:

On that same note, I say cancel the shields. They are like seeing tattoos on a very beautiful woman. They ruin the look, are ugly and out of place on such a beautiful car as the F12. IMO.

 

If any caliper colours other than flat black, go with gloss black. Not a fan of coloured calipers.

 

It sucks for $5000, I'm going to switch mine out with a real system here soon.

 

I have the lift , car lives in Beverly Hills and still scrapes in some spots. It's necessary here, depends where you are planning to drive it.

 

The tattoo's are cool

I do agree about the shields, I made sure I didn't get them. They should be included in the price.

 

100% agree. Don't like shields either.

 

If you're thinking about resale one day, I would go with the shields and the yellow calipers, otherwise nice spec.

 

Please don't do red callipers, it totally ruins, IMHO, a lovely spec and totally detracts the eye from the lines of the car with a colour that has nothing to do with the outside anywhere.

 

Indeed they are....
